actually your 3.6 is high

last year.. according to forbes.. revenue was 3.374 billion.

50% of this is 1.687 billion / 30 teams = 56.234

so.. your argument stands to this point.. but what you are not accounting for is that the league lost 1020 games last year, the outdoor classic, and the all star game

now.. revenue comes from a variet of places but lets say 60% can be attested to a game by game basis. therefore.. if the league made 3.374 billion x 0.6 = 2.0244 billion

divide that by number of games played per team (48) = 0.042175 billion

thats your per game league wide so multiply it over a full 82 game schedule = 3.45835 billion.

then add the 40% back in we took off in the first place ... therefore
3.45835 + 1.3496 = 4.80795 billion

not including all star game and outdoor classic

you are forgetting that the projections these people are making are based on a shortened season.. not a full 82.. on a game by game basis.. they've been higher than they've ever been

i am aware i am probably a lil high.. but its not unreasonable to assume the cap will be between 70 and 80million

- Garnie

both have a great shot.

no failure!

So you think revenue will be up 17% in one year? That is what it would take to get to 70 million. I know most cant calculate and do math...but the outdoor games project to add 180 mill....so even still not even close to getting to 70 mill...

We'll all just have to wait and see but my bet is we see 64-65 mill next season.
- Iggysbff

So you don`t think the cap will go up at all (its 64.3M right now).
Moreover, you do know that we`ll be freeing up 2.5M in cap space without having to do a single thing (buyouts and frattin and scrivens come off).

well i guess u wil have to drive to big D's house

why are you adding in the 40% at the end when you've already extrapolated the per-game for a full 82 game season?

- scotch_tape

Uh oh.

If you take 3.6 billion. Increase by 5 % then add 180 mill (for the outdoor games) that gets you to 3.96 billion. Still only 67 million Cap number. And I happen to believe that's generous. Sportsnet projection was about this much.
- Iggysbff

Year Revenue
2012-2013 3.6
2013-2014 3.8
2014-2015 4.0 Estimated

The 2014-2015 cap is calculated based on final 2013-2014 revenue X an estimated growth rate.

Does Sportsnet really need to add bad math to bad replays and poor production value.

$4B is the number i understand will be needed to get to a $70M cap.

because i removed the 40% in the first place to account for set costs that arent not adjusted on a game by game basis.

I believe he outscored phaneuf last season, makes less dumb mistakes, actually hits the net and doesn't use his size enough. If he continues to improves this year, he could easily replace phaneuf as a number one dman who shouldn't be a number one dman.
- Fakepartofme

Easily? wow!

Pretty sure Phaneuf played top line minutes against top line competition all year, but yea you're right that can be replaced easily by a guy who had a great half a season playing majority of the time on the 3rd pairing. You underrate Phaneuf so much its ridiculous

The league themselves said 7% growth, not 5%. There was more than 5% growth every year.

3.8b plus 7% + 180m for outdoor games = 4.246b.....works out to a 70.8m. Cap.

i think the cap will be 70-72 mil which is pretty accurate with this, but, that being said it does have the chance to go higher than this.

i only keep fish when im up north, and they have to be perfect.

99.99% of the fish i catch 400-600 a year, i dont keep, i toss back.

Any of them have legs...

Where are you getting the 3.8B figure from?

- Cooshie

fair enough.. and yes.. admittedly.. its completely based on assumed percentages

the calculation itself is sound tho

on a game by game basis.. the revenue stream was higher than ever
